A short LinkedIn exchange can reveal a much larger shift. When a front-end developer says that cognition and user behavior are deeply connected — and that this is what UX is really about — he is not just being polite. He is pointing to the real tension inside modern product design. Interfaces are no longer only arranging screens, buttons, and flows. More and more, they are expected to interpret confusion, sense hesitation, adapt explanations, and respond in ways that feel les

When we talk about AI risk in Europe, we usually mean models, data and use cases. But there is another layer of risk that is much quieter: how different minds and cultures read the same law. The EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) is the first comprehensive legal framework for AI in the world. It creates a risk-based regime: some AI uses are banned as “unacceptable risk”, others are tightly regulated as “high-risk”, and the rest fall into lighter categories with transpare

On the first Monday of March, the calendar looked ordinary. But by the evening it felt like the same sharp knife had cut through three different places in the world at once: a startup team, a group of students, and a piece of land under shells. To me, this was not random. It was one of those days when the wheel of time turns a bit louder, and you can clearly see which type of intelligence is trying to occupy the throne — and what it destroys when it does. I call this map of f

In the architecture of human knowledge, we have long believed that the roof of Truth rests on the pillars of Rationality. But as we enter the era of quantum computing and hyper-complexity, the building is cracking. The cracks aren’t in the mathematics; they are in our consciousness. At Verbs-Verbi, we explore the IPER framework, where intelligence is not a monolithic block but a symphony of four functions: Intuition, Rationality, Ethics, and Sensing. Today, we look at a pivot

Introduction: Why We Need a “Methodology of Intuition” in Science Debates about artificial intelligence, knowledge sovereignty and local language models are usually conducted from a rational angle: through standard methodologies, procedures, curricula. In practice, however, many of the deepest breakthroughs come from something else – from what we might call intuitive intelligence: the ability to see the whole picture, to recognize a paradox, and to fuse distant layers of know

How to Write Clever AI Prompts for Research? AI prompting helps research teams conduct complex studies, but poorly constructed prompts can result in half-answered questions and unreliable data. With the rapid evolution of prompt engineering AI, the key is learning to design instructions that reflect rigorous, research-grade thinking—transforming AI from a simple assistant into a reliable research partner. This guide unpacks how to harness artificial intelligence prompt strate

AI Prompting Guide: How an AI learns to think like you AI prompting isn’t just about typing a question and hoping for magic. It’s a new communication skill—one where your instructions, examples, and thinking style can be reflected back at you by your AI assistant, yielding anything from insights to content or even code. The big promise: with good prompts, you can make an artificial intelligence prompt feel startlingly like a real collaborator who matches your workflow, tone,

The recent unraveling of OpenAI’s Superalignment team and the reshuffling of its Model Behavior group are more than organizational footnotes—they are seismic tremors, signaling a profound reckoning in the AI landscape[1][2][3][4]. OpenAI insists safety remains a priority, yet the departures of visionaries like Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike reveal a deeper tension: the clash between the allure of "shiny products" and the unglamorous, essential work of building AI that truly und

Beyond 'Emotional Intelligence': A Neuroscientific Case for Distinguishing Intuition, Ethics, and Emotion The Success and a Hidden Flaw of Emotional Intelligence The concept of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) revolutionized our understanding of success. Popularized by Daniel Goleman in the 1990s, it rightfully challenged the supremacy of IQ, arguing convincingly that skills like self-awareness, empathy, and social adeptness were critical predictors of a fulfilling life and effect

When One Intelligence Type Rules a Startup: The Hidden Crisis of Imbalanced Leadership Startups thrive on innovation, execution, empathy, and analysis. These correspond to four types of problem-solving “intelligences” often abbreviated as IPER: Intuitive, Practical, Ethical, and Rational. Intuitive intelligence drives strategic vision and foresight; Practical intelligence ensures hands-on execution and real-world results; Ethical intelligence emphasizes empathy, values, and t

It’s Time to Distinguish Vision, Values, and Feelings — Before Manipulation Becomes the New Normal For decades, we have been told that Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the key to a successful life. It has been celebrated in boardrooms, classrooms, and self-help books as the supreme human skill. The original idea was noble: to recognize the power of feelings in a hyper-rational world. But the noble idea has been corrupted. In its popular form, EQ has blurred — and often erased —

How Intellectual Corruption Fuels Human Crisis and Collapse Humanity’s worst crises – from ancient wars to modern conflicts – can be traced to an underlying intellectual corruption. This corruption arises when knowledge and cognitive power are divorced from wisdom, moral insight, and balance. People “know” a great deal yet fail to understand how to do good, leading entire societies astray. In personal life, teams, and nations alike, a war or crisis often starts as a mere disa

She was eight years old, drowning in a sea of symbols. Her parents wanted her to learn Russian, her mother tongue, but she was already juggling four different alphabets. She was exhausted. So was I. After more than a decade of teaching languages, I thought I knew their rhythms—English, a steady two-step march; Serbian, a flowing three-beat waltz. But in the face of her weariness, I threw my lesson plan out the window. And I started to sing. Not words. Just the sounds. The ind

White Paper Summary for Students and Researchers Authors: Elena Buran, Egor Miloradovich, Lex 2025, Montenegro Executive Summary What if the biggest problems in AI, education, and society come from ignoring the real diversity of human intelligence? This paper explains the IPER typology and shows why recognizing all four types — Intuitive, Rational, Ethical, Practical — is the next big step for science, business, and culture. 1. The Problem: We Are Missing the Full Pic

To listen to it: To read it: Hey there, and welcome. Let's be honest. How many times have you opened a window to ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, stared at the blinking cursor, and felt like you were just talking to a supercharged Google? You ask a question, get a decent answer, copy it, and close the tab. Job done. That approach worked yesterday. But today, the rules of the game have fundamentally changed. And if you're still using AI like a search bar, you're missing out on 90

To watch Intuition in Action: To read it: Hello and welcome! Today we’re going to talk about intuition — not as something mystical or vague, but as a very real and trainable skill. We’ll look at why intuition is so important in our complex world, how it works best, and how truly successful people, like Google’s Sergey Brin, use intuition in ways you might not expect. We’ll dive into fascinating examples, including the story of Google Glass — a technology that failed in the co

IPER intelligence typology and AI futures By Elena Buran, based on Burан, Miloradovich, Lex (2025) ❖ Introduction: More Than Panic or Control The widely discussed “AI 2027” scenario proposes two sharply contrasting futures: either a fast, uncontrollable superintelligence or a more gradual path where alignment mechanisms can be applied. This binary logic may seem solid within the narrow lens of rational projections—but it neglects a deeper, more systemic truth. Drawing from th
